DIY Tinted Mint Lip Gloss

It is now that time of the year when the cold weather hits, and our lips seem to get dry and chapped. Nobody likes to have rough, dry or chapped lips. So today we are making some homemade lip gloss. Let’s get busy!Beware! This lip balm will make your lips super soft, moisturized, and totally kissable, just in time for Valentine’s Day.Making your own lip gloss may seem really complex, right? Wrong! It is fairly simple and inexpensive to make lip balm at home. It would be complicated if you were adding tons of chemicals like the store bought brands. My homemade lip gloss is made of all natural ingredients, smells fantastic and is edible.
